Care to point the finger of blame at her too? She&#39;s dead, after all, so won&#39;t be able to correct you when you are unutterably wrong.ibikelondonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06978714126105951294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-59689987963650278282013-11-15T15:00:01.921+00:002013-11-15T15:00:01.921+00:00Standard entitled, self-righteous cyclist claptrap...Standard entitled, self-righteous cyclist claptrap from all.<br /><br />You refuse to wear any safety gear, let alone a helmet, then barrel through red lights without even looking what&#39;s coming. And then when you inevitably come a cropper it&#39;s somebody else&#39;s fault and you all gather together in a frothing volcano of self-righteous indignation to moan about it. <br /><br />The more inconvenience you can cause for responsible road users and pedestrians the better, eh?<br /><br />Sort your life out and you&#39;ll be less likely to have it taken away from you.Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-15542083776882923012013-11-15T09:20:51.259+00:002013-11-15T09:20:51.259+00:00Are there plans for follow up action at Bow?Are there plans for follow up action at Bow?Rachelhttp://www.onegirltwowheels.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-53988947688822126322013-11-14T19:52:37.967+00:002013-11-14T19:52:37.967+00:00I like your optimism but coverage in a few papers ...I like your optimism but coverage in a few papers doesn&#39;t stop people from dying.<br /><br />Gary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-35655044180342869802013-11-13T23:15:22.450+00:002013-11-13T23:15:22.450+00:00@Anonymous I look forward to you leading the way w...@Anonymous I look forward to you leading the way with your input. If you want something to happen in a certain way, get involved.<br /><br />As it happens, I think a quick, initial action organised in about 7 hours that got coverage in The Times, the Evening Standard on Road.CC and headlined the BBC London and ITV news is an excellent way to focus the minds of the Mayor and TfL.ibikelondonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06978714126105951294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-73464744744121193642013-11-13T22:56:46.876+00:002013-11-13T22:56:46.876+00:00How many more of these protest rides are you lot g...How many more of these protest rides are you lot going to have before you realise that it&#39;s not getting you anywhere? Do you think that TfL or Johnson even know they&#39;re taking place or even care? <br /><br />Why don&#39;t you organise some proper protests, during rush hour that are coordinated to bring the city to a stand still and have a financial impact. One or two of these a month would eventually get things moving.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-75864794686308479272013-11-13T16:30:41.524+00:002013-11-13T16:30:41.524+00:00@Rob Thanks for the reminder, let&#39;s hope that ...@Rob Thanks for the reminder, let&#39;s hope that cyclist is okay,<br /><br />@Ben S I agree, at the moment Bow is just too dangerous.
